A new model of the effects of shadowing on the brightness of rough Gaussian surfaces is developed to describe thermal emission observations of atmosphereless celestial bodies. A comparison with real data for the Moon by Saari et al. (1972) was made. A good agreement between the theoretical and experimental data was found. The comparison have shown that the lunar-relief characteristic slope on the scale of forming the thermal indicatrix (i.e. a few decimeters) is about 30 degrees.
